‘Sachin Tendulkar ranks ahead of Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting and Rahul Dravid’

World cricket will miss Sachin a lot. He has been one of the greatest batsmen and contributors to the game. I have met him quite a few times. He is a fantastic person.

I first met Sachin Tendulkar in 2002 at a camp in Bangalore where I was selected in the 30-member probable of the Indian team. When he walked past me, my mouth was left open in awe. The star of cricket, someone whom I had idolised for so long, and had grown up watching was in front of my eyes. I didn’t have the courage to initiate a conversation. I just kept on looking at his pads, the way he carried himself while practicing, his bat and the thickness of it. He came up to be and had a brief discussion about my bowling and other general cricket stuff. Over the years, the awe was only to grow big.

‘Not seen anyone as committed as Sachin Tendulkar in all my years as a player and coach’

I have seen Sachin Tendulkar playing since his school days. Back then, Vinod Kambli and Sachin used to plunder tons of runs in school cricket. The first impression I had of Sachin was that he was a solid batsman. But, then it looked like the flamboyant Vinod would turn out a better player.

‘Sometimes you feel Sachin Tendulkar will get out by mistake!’

I had never met Sachin Tendulkar until the third season of Indian Premier League in 2009 when I played alongside him in the Mumbai Indians team. The first time it was just a 'hi' 'hello' meet but as the season progressed, I got to interact more often with him in the nets. He is as focused in nets as seen in match situation. Even when a bowler gets him out in the nets he gets extremely disappointed.
